Chapter 1379： observatory
, The sword of dawn
Located in the deserted wilderness near the frontline base, the ancient facility that kept the structure intact is standing quietly in the sunset. Due to the continuous extension of the purification device in the waste soil, the dirty clouds that originally entrenched in this area have followed. As the energy field changes, it is gradually dissipated. For the first time in centuries, normal sunlight shines on this land. In the setting sun, the mottled ancient buildings are like giants standing silently on the earth, toward the depths of the wilderness. Cast a long shadow.
A heavily armed command vehicle and two heavy tanks were parked in the shadows near the building. The soldiers set up a number of temporary outposts around the wasteland to monitor the wasteland. In the command vehicle, the hologram in front of Philip The projection is showing a clear picture.
The team led by warrior Sara is approaching the only entrance at the bottom of the building. The old door has been damaged. The crooked door panel is dumped in the nearby dust. The space behind the door is like a black cave. In the evening, he opened his huge mouth quietly, as if waiting for the reckless person to approach, and in the background sound of the picture returned, Philip could also hear the heavy breathing sounds of the soldiers from under the full-covered helmets.
"We have come to the entrance, and neither the heat source alarm nor the life detection responds," the soldier Sara's voice rang out of the screen, "There are no moving targets within the visual range, and we are not under attack."
"Look around the entrance and take all the pictures in," Philip said to the communication device. "Then the formation is advancing with caution and pay attention to safety."
"Yes, General." The soldier's voice came, and at the same time the picture on the holographic projection began to rotate. The mottled and old exterior walls and the building materials falling off from the exterior walls moved slowly in front of everyone in the command vehicle. Then the picture began to move towards the "hole" of the black hole. A scout turned on the light, and a bright beam of light shone into the door.
At this moment, the middle-aged scholar standing next to Philip suddenly said, "Stop, turn back to the place just now, among the piles of rubble, is there something in the place where the light hits just now?"
As the expert’s voice fell, the picture returned by the communication device moved. A pile of broken objects scattered on the ground and a half-buried rectangular thin plate appeared in front of Philip and others. A soldier pointed his finger at the pile. Wreckage: "Yes, it looks like a sign... There seems to be something on the surface, do you want to take it out? It looks very fragile."
Philip said in a deep voice, "Take it out and handle it carefully. There are words on it. Yes, General."
The thin plate half-buried in the ruins was carefully taken out. A piece of dust and debris fell from its surface. The soldiers flipped it carefully and placed the side that looked like words on the front of the picture. In the middle, there is a pattern that has been severely worn and weathered and is illegible for ordinary people, but it can still be seen that it is the text of the ancient Gondor Empire. Philip immediately turned his head and looked at the middle-aged scholar beside him: "I can see that the writing is What?"
"We are identifying." The middle-aged scholar frowned, and several other experts also came over. These people who know the Gondor's relics carefully distinguished the symbols on the screen while discussing in whispers from time to time, and then they took The map of the ancient Gondor empire was drawn on it, seeming to confirm the historical location of the facilities here. After tossing for a while, one of the scholars thoughtfully said in a low voice: "Could it be This is the Wiplanton Observatory?"
"Verplanton Observatory?" Philip immediately raised his brows. He vaguely remembered when the name seemed to have been heard. "How come it sounds familiar..."
"It was one of the largest astronomical observation facilities during the Gu Gondor period. It is located in the northern part of the ancient empire. It is said that alien objects from the sky fell in this area thousands of years ago. "The research facility of the object'," the middle-aged scholar explained, "Most of the characters on the sign are unrecognizable, but you can still see the words of the observatory. We just checked the ancient map and where we are now. It's near Verpland County in Gugondor..."
"I remember! Your Majesty mentioned this place to me." Philip said with a stunned look, nodding his head. He did remember the knowledge corresponding to this place name, and he remembered that Gawain once mentioned that after the destruction of the Gondor Empire that year, the Northern Expedition Army passed near the "Wiplanton Observatory", and your Majesty’s legend The shield of the guardian of the kingdom is exactly what the pioneer army obtained from a facility in the Wiplanton area. It is said that the shield is even one of the legendary "Heaven Alien"...
"This observatory is still here, and the main structure shows no signs of collapse..." After realizing the significance of this ancient facility, Philip's expression instantly became more serious than before, "We have to report upward..."
"General, do you want to go deeper?" At this moment, the voice of the soldier Sarah came from the communication device. "There is a very wide space inside, but the magic reaction is still deeper in the facility. Do you want to Is there any way forward?"
"...Continue to act," Philippe ordered after thinking slightly, "always pay attention to the readings of the detection equipment."
The soldiers received the order and began to continue their actions in this ancient facility that had been silent for several centuries. On the returned pictures, they could be seen first entering a roughly circular hall in the hall. All equipment has been destroyed and silenced. Obviously, it cannot be the source of the mysterious energy response. The lighting system in the facility has been completely broken. After inspecting some remaining energy lines, the technical experts made a judgment: this The energy system of the observatory itself is completely shut down.
“The energy response from somewhere inside the observatory can still be sensed from the outside, and this energy response is very stable, and it did not make any strain to the exploration team’s actions,” a technical expert said, “so this energy response may have nothing to do with the observatory itself. , I suspect it is some kind of external energy source...such as some kind of ancient relic, which is stored in that facility and has been operating for these years..."
"It can continue to release energy for seven centuries. No matter what it is, it can only be described as amazing," Philip frowned and shook his head. "Even the cutting-edge technology left by the Gondor Empire back then is difficult. …"
"General, we found a way to the upper floor, on the side of the hall, it looks like a spare staircase," Sarah's voice suddenly came from outside the screen, interrupting Philip's self-talk, "We are walking up. , There seems to be a door in front..."
Philip's gaze immediately returned to the holographic projection. He saw two soldiers walking on a rather steep staircase, and the disrepaired steps seemed quite stable. At the end of the steep staircase, A small platform can be seen. On the wall on the other side of the platform is inlaid a dimly colored metal door, which is tightly closed, and a rusty sign can be seen on the door frame.
The condition of the sign is obviously better than the sign at the entrance of the facility. The characters on it are faintly recognizable. The middle-aged scholar standing next to Philip quickly recognized the handwriting: "Behind the door of the upper observatory should be It is the most important part of the observatory."
"You can try to open the door," another scholar said on the side. "Theoretically, there will be no traps behind this kind of door. This is a research facility. It does not need to arrange any weapons devices near the observatory."
The soldiers who entered the observatory received the instructions, and one of them stepped forward, put his hand on the seemingly heavy metal door and pushed it slightly for a second, when the surface of the door suddenly appeared. A piece of flowing shimmer!
Dim light flows on the surface of the gate, as if some kind of "will" that has been sleeping for an unknown number of years suddenly awakens in its depths. The soldier who went to push the door couldn't help but exclaim in a low voice, monitoring the scene through a communication device. Philip and several technical experts were also shocked instantly. Does this door still have energy? !
Immediately afterwards, before anyone spoke, the faint light flowing on the door quickly gathered together and became a light curtain floating in front of the door, with clear characters jumping on the light curtain.
Philip immediately looked at the expert next to him, who did not wait for the general to speak before translating: "The general does not meet the identity authentication. This is an access control system. It is still operating normally and requires permission to open the door..."
"This is something from 700 years ago. Where can I find the permission to open the door?" Another scholar next to him said suddenly, "It seems that we have to find a way to crack this old antique... This door still has energy. The structure of the facility may also have energy. If you forcibly destroy the door, I don’t know if it will cause a certain destruction mechanism. Confidential research facilities like this usually have settings for automatically destroying data..."
"Wait," Philip frowned thoughtfully from just now, and suddenly interrupted the conversation of several scholars. "Don't be busy stimulating this door, let's report the situation here. Go up, if you have permission... I'm afraid there is a way to solve it..."
…
"The First Legion led by Philip found the Wiplanton Observatory in the highland area southeast of the Magic Scorch." In the study room covered with blue velvet carpet, Gawain put down the information he had just received, and was right next to him. Amber, who helped organize the data, said, "Moreover, the observatory is in an incredible condition, with the main structure intact."
Upon hearing this, Amber suddenly widened his eyes: "I'll go! Then they dug up something good! Is Philip so talented in this business?"
"...I think the ‘talent’ in your mouth is not consistent with what I’m thinking at this time," Gawain glanced at the outstanding tomb thief of the past. "But you just need to be happy."
"Hey, it's not important." Amber waved his hand casually, and then his eyes curled. "By the way, I remember that your shield was picked up from the Wiplanton area... You said that before. ."
"Yes, the Shield of the Kingdom Guardian was indeed found in an underground facility in the Verplandton area," Gawain nodded. "But strictly speaking, Charlie and I only found a very strong metal plate back then. We really didn’t understand what that thing was, and we thought it had the right size, shape and hardness, so we soldered it to use it as a shield..."
What Gao Wen is talking about is indeed the origin of the legendary shield that is as famous as the Trailblazer Sword, but he did not mention more details:
The main body of the Guardian’s Shield of the Kingdom, that piece of metal plate with an unidentified source and ultra-hardness, is actually one of the fragments that fell on the surface during the Wiplandon "Meteor Rain" incident, and those fragments were from Amo three thousand years ago. The debris thrown from the space station when Enhung hit the Sky Station. The Gondor people in ancient times regarded the debris as "outside the sky." Afterwards, with the development of the Gondor civilization, scholars set up a package to study the debris. A series of research facilities including the Verpland Observatory, time passed, and Gondor was destroyed. One of these fragments from the Sky Station fell by chance to the hands of Charlie and Gawain, who led the team to transfer to the north at that time, and was processed. It has become a shield, and all this is like an invisible thread that connects three thousand years of history together.
And sometimes, thinking of the white star falling three thousand years ago, thinking of the "meteorite rain" in the Wiplanton area, thinking of the pioneer army processing the fragments into Gavin Cecil's shield, Gavin cannot help but continue to think about whether It is precisely because of being with that piece of debris from the Sky Station all the year round that a certain "change" occurred in Gawain Cecil 700 years ago, which led to a certain connection between him and the legacy of the sailors in space. And indirectly contacted himself as a "satellite spirit" at the time? As the strongest knight, Gawain Cecil died in his prime of life, leaving behind an immortal body, and he was reborn on the surface of the space, occupying such a body that once held the fragments of the sailor...this Everything is really like a deal already set.
Today, many mysteries about Gawain Cecil and the sailor’s legacy have been revealed, but only this most critical link is still blank in Gawain’s memory.
"Hey...hey," At this moment, Amber's voice suddenly came from the side, awakening Gawain from his distracted state, "Are you okay? Suddenly his eyes were in a trance...Are you distracted again?"
"It's nothing, I just accidentally remembered something from the past," Gawain shook his head and said casually, "Where did you talk?"
"Speaking of your shield was opened out of a box in a basement in Verplanton. It was originally just a metal plate that didn't know what it was used for. Then you welded a shield as a shield..." Amber balabala As he said, he immediately glanced at the intelligence that Gao Wen threw on the table just now, "How is the situation with Philip now? What did they find in the observatory?"
"They found that an ancient access control requires some kind of authentication authority to enter. The observatory on the upper level of the observatory is blocked by that thing, and exploration soldiers cannot enter," Gao Wen said in a deep voice. "The access control system is still operating, indicating that the observatory is still operating. There are probably other things still running on the upper level of the company, and rashly destroying the gate will most likely lead to the destruction of the data in the facility, so Philip is now waiting for further instructions."
"I'm going, there is still a lock in the 700-year old tomb, then..." Amber was taken aback, and then immediately reacted, "Wait, authentication authority...I remember..."
"Yes, I need to contact our neighbors now," Gawain smiled. "Augustus may have such a ‘authority’, and they should also be very interested in that observatory."
